  • I THOUGHT OF YOU TODAY

    I thought of you today. I thought of you as I was sitting quietly in the soft glow of the Christmas tree with its’ sparkling lights and shimmering tinsel. Without meaning to, I whispered your name aloud, and the sound of it stole my breath. I don’t know why it happened, but it did. In Read more

  • Happy Birthday Adam

    Today would have been Adam’s birthday. November 14th a long time ago is the day the world got its’ first glimpse of the little baby boy that would make a huge impact on everyone and everything around him.

  • Hello Everyone

    It’s been more than 2 months since my last post. Gosh, time really does fly by when you’re having fun. It’s been a busy few months for me. I retired, transitioned into a new routine of not actually having a routine, and quickly began work on an exceedingly long list of tasks and chores. FYI. Read more

  • Sometimes you just want to be like Norm

    Hey Ya’ll. Today is Sunday. The weather continues to be outstanding. Again, Mother Nature is teasing us with Beach weather. Looking ahead, it looks as if our neighbors SW of here, in the Mobile, Alabama region may experience a minor tropical front (cue hurricane) later this week.
